Good to chat at the meet-up yesterday. I've had a look at [[:Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Union_Street_(novel)|your DYK nom]] for ''Union Street'', but I wonder if we could make the hook something a bit more arresting? I've made an ALT 1 suggestion about how the book was lightened up for the screen, but I think that could probably be improved on too. |

BTW, depending what borough you live in, you may find your local public library card offers electronic searchable access to newspapers of the period, for finding 1980s reviews from before Google News. In particular when I was writing up [[Shoot to Kill (1990 TV drama)]] I found Westminster had online access to ''The Times'', ''Sunday Times'', ''Guardian'', ''Observer'' and ''Daily Express'', and Westminster reference library just round the corner from Leicester Square seemed quite happy to issue me a non-borrowing library card -- if you happen to be drawn to writing up material from this sort of period again. |

Sorry not to give an unreserved thumbs-up for the DYK, but I'm sure with another go at the hook we can get it good to go. All best, [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|talk]]) 09:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC) |

Union Street
Good to chat at the meet-up yesterday. I've had a look at your DYK nom for Union Street, but I wonder if we could make the hook something a bit more arresting? I've made an ALT 1 suggestion about how the book was lightened up for the screen, but I think that could probably be improved on too.
BTW, depending what borough you live in, you may find your local public library card offers electronic searchable access to newspapers of the period, for finding 1980s reviews from before Google News. In particular when I was writing up Shoot to Kill (1990 TV drama) I found Westminster had online access to The Times, Sunday Times, Guardian, Observer and Daily Express, and Westminster reference library just round the corner from Leicester Square seemed quite happy to issue me a non-borrowing library card -- if you happen to be drawn to writing up material from this sort of period again.
Sorry not to give an unreserved thumbs-up for the DYK, but I'm sure with another go at the hook we can get it good to go. All best, Jheald (talk) 09:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
DYK for Union Street (novel)
| On 17 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Union Street (novel), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Pat Barker's gritty first novel Union Street inspired the much lighter romantic film drama Stanley & Iris? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Union Street (novel).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
